1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The cyanobacterial circadian clock, the only rigorously established prokaryotic circadian system, is driven by the KaiABC core oscillator and accompanied by dynamic changes in KaiA and KaiC localization. Because KaiB had not previously been imaged in living cells, the spatial organization of the complete core oscillator remained unresolved. Recent work by H. J. Bevir, C. C. Hooper, P. Saikley, T. Chaljian, et al. (Microbiol Spectr 14:e01845-25, 2026, https://doi.org/10.1128/spectrum.01845-25) shows that KaiB localizes to the cell poles at night, completing the spatial model of the cyanobacterial clock. Using a frankenbody-based imaging strategy in bacteria for the first time, the authors overcome longstanding barriers to visualizing KaiB
